Yes, stage pyrotechnics can be dangerous to performers and crowds. They can cause burns, fires, explosions, and other injuries. In some cases, they have even resulted in death.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to the danger of stage pyrotechnics, including:
Some types of pyrotechnic devices are more dangerous than others. For example, fireworks are more dangerous than sparklers. The amount of pyrotechnic material used also plays a role in the danger. The more pyrotechnic material used, the greater the risk of injury.
The location of the pyrotechnic device is also important. If a pyrotechnic device is placed near people, there is a greater risk of injury. The proximity of the pyrotechnic device to people is also important. The closer the pyrotechnic device is to people, the greater the risk of injury.
Weather conditions can also affect the danger of stage pyrotechnics. For example, wind can cause pyrotechnic devices to fly off course and land in unintended places. Rain can also dampen the effects of pyrotechnic devices, making them less effective.
In order to minimize the risk of injury, it is important to use caution when handling stage pyrotechnics. Performers and crew should be trained in the safe use of pyrotechnics. Pyrotechnic devices should be used only by experienced professionals. The devices should be stored in a safe location and should be used only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
